Meeker and Chairman William S. Farish 1999 Annual Report 3 1999 was the year in which our planning and our commitment to excellence resulted in outstanding progress for Churchill Downs Incorporated. Aided by strategic acquisitions, we achieved record financial results, we reinforced our leadership in the racing industry, and we continued our development of a comprehensive simulcast product. These accomplishments underscore the value of our four-prong business strategy, which continues to guide us as we embark on an era in our industry that will be defined by marketing innovations and technological advances. With progress comes change. Two years ago, our operations were centered in Indiana and Kentucky. We now have five racetracks in four states, including California and Florida. The acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park more than tripled the size of our Company’s assets. In 1997, we had a staff of 325 full-time employees; now we employ 1,000 people full time. To support this growth, the integration of our new properties and any future expansion plans, the Company has built a strong managerial infrastructure, and we are dedicating considerable energies to develop cohesiveness in our practices, which allows us to share resources effectively.

  • Churchill Downs and Keeneland Joint Venture Applies to Build $125 Million Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky
    Churchill Downs and Keeneland Joint Venture Applies to Build $125 Million Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky September 4, 2018 Proposed 2019 Standardbred Meet to be Hosted at old Louisville Downs Venue, with Future Meets to be Held at New Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WKY Development, LLC – a joint venture between Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”) (Nasdaq: CHDN) and Keeneland Association Inc. (“Keeneland”) – filed an application today with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (“KHRC”) requesting live standardbred racing dates at CDI’s old Louisville Downs racing venue located at Derby City Gaming (DCG) in Louisville for 2019 and in 2020 at its proposed venue in Oak Grove (Christian County). Proposed Facility in Christian County, KY This historic partnership between CDI and Keeneland is designed to strengthen and grow the standardbred racing circuit in Kentucky following last year’s closure of Thunder Ridge racetrack in Prestonsburg. The application is for a 10-day standardbred race meet in 2019 at CDI’s old Louisville Downs racing venue located at Derby City Gaming in Louisville. If approved, CDI and Keeneland will solely fund these purses as there has been no prior pari-mutuel activity to generate purse revenue for this meet. The 2019 meet is a critical, short-term measure to support the standardbred racing circuit and bridge the gap to future races in 2020 at the new Oak Grove racing venue. If approved by the KHRC, beginning in 2020, live standardbred racing would permanently move to the proposed Oak Grove venue in Christian County raising the profile of the Kentucky circuit and building larger purses in the process.
